InFocus M810 with 5.5″ FHD display, Snapdragon 801 SoC for $334

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 07:54 PM PDT

InFocus are known for their extensive list of hardware offerings, from smartphones to projectors. The Taiwan-based maker announced their entry into the flagship race sometime back in the form of a very affordable yet powerful smartphone. We're talking about the InFocus M810, a smartphone that InFocus announced a couple of days back. With a Snapdragon 801 SoC, the device falls in the league of high-end flagships such as the HTC One M8, Samsung Galaxy S5, etc. However, the price tag on the device is closer to an average mid-range phone, at just around $330. Specifications 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p FHD display 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 CPU 2GB RAM 16GB on-board storage, expandable via microSD 13 mega-pixel rear camera 5 mega-pixel front facing camera 2600mAh battery The device clearly packs a lot of tech into a small frame, just 6.99mm thick. To put that into perspective, the iPhone 5S measures 7.6mm thick! There's more of an Apple relation there; its Foxconn that make a lot of InFocus hardware including the M810 so you can rest assured it's going to be of great quality! Via

Verizon’s LG G Pad 8.3 finally gets Android 4.4 KitKat

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 07:16 PM PDT

Slowly but surely, a lot of mid-range Android devices are getting the crucial v4.4 KitKat update. Crucial, because the KitKat update on these mid-range devices is much more required than by the higher-end ones, which don't gain as much from the update. The LG G Pad 8.3 Android tablet received the update earlier today. Although it took quite a long time coming, it is finally here, giving users of the device some much needed respite. Besides the usual bug-fixes, the v4.4 KitKat update brings a few feature enhancements as well. Among these, the best known and perhaps the most awaited one is the inclusion of the LG Knock Code feature, which allows users to unlock their device in a variety of different ways (86,367 different ways, according to LG). As with any other Android update, the G Pad 8.3 update too be rolled out in phases to avoid server overload. So, if you haven't gotten an update notification yet, don't lose patience! Via

Leaked: Mini variant of the Lenovo K920 Vibe Z2 Pro

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 06:51 PM PDT

Lenovo's K920, a Quad HD smartphone with flagship-level specs, went official about two months back after a prolonged stint with the rumour mills. According to reports, the Chinese manufacturer might be working on another variant of this powerhouse of a phone. It is being said that Lenovo are working on a mini version of the device, which will possibly be called 'K920 Vibe Z2 Pro Mini'. Of course, this is only speculation, and there's no word on this from Lenovo yet. What is funny though, is the fact that this rumoured mini version of the phone will come with a massive 5.5-inch display, which is far from any 'mini' phone we've seen in the past. Specifications-wise the device will have a set nearly identical to the elder brother, in the Snapdragon 801 SoC, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of on-board storage. Screen resolution is expected to go down to 1920 x 1080p from the QHD resolution of the Vibe Z2 Pro, which does make sense if Lenovo want to sell it for cheaper. Speaking of price, the Vibe Z2 Pro mini is being touted as a sub $350 phone, so don't be surprised if you see this launch for a price tag ...
